I was just sipping this after having opened the bottle a couple weeks ago and not really jiving with it. I felt it was too dry, lacked sweetness... was a bit disappointed... Than I got the flu. Sipping it today, I don't know if it was the time the bottle had to breath, my palate was off prior to the flu or a bit of both, but it just clicked... Could definitely feel the sweetness that I was missing... lots of heat (not alcoholic though), spice, red fruits... it's good stuff. It was rather costy so that was a relief. Cheers!

[@McIntyresMalts]

Glad to hear that the bottle came around for you Bruno and that you are feeling better!

[@justincase5124]

I had same experience...it's the time in the bottle. Same for the 12

[@canal-do-guga-namura]

@@justincase5124 had it similar with the twelve but oddly enough it took longer. Only 1/4 left now (and a sealed one so all is good ;) )

[@justincase5124]

@@canal-do-guga-namura Yeah 6-8 weeks after opening and it sweetens considerably.

[@sebastiancassinelli4191]

Hermosa reseña mí Bro fantástica descripción de ese hermoso whiskhy 🥃🥃💪👍

[@McIntyresMalts]

¡Gracias amigo, es un placer tomarlos y compartirlos contigo!

[@ministryofalcohol5275]

Waiting for you to hit 1000 subs mate. Congrats in advance.

[@McIntyresMalts]

Thank you for the kind words, hopefully this year 😊

[@allanboyd7528]

My second one sits in my cupboard unopened. I'll wait for a special occasion . But won't buy another. Down here in Geelong it's on the shelves a few $ off $200 . It's Lagavulin'' crazy pricing I'm afraid. Glendronach 15 is nearly $50 cheaper... It is lovely stuff... but not that lovely. Great review. Thanks, AL

[@McIntyresMalts]

Yeah agreed mate, I'd grab a GlenDronach 15 for $150 over a Tamdhu 15 for $200 everyday of the week.

[@taylorbrasser1597]

Tamdhu 15 is a great dram. It was only $150AUD about 10 months ago when I picked one up. Would love to see a 15 year old comparison of those sherried whiskys.

[@McIntyresMalts]

In the works my friend 😉

[@krenarkabashi958]

I haven't tried anything else except CS b7 from Tamdhu, but looking forward to try 15. Ty for the review.

[@McIntyresMalts]

I have a sample of the batch 6 and a full bottle of the batch 4 that I am looking forward to cracking into! Thanks for checking out the review!!

[@krenarkabashi958]

@McIntyre's Malts that would be a good video comparing the batches. My b7 bottle got better after some time I've opened.

[@chrisbearg]

Loved the review! Entertaining as always. I have this on my shelf and waiting for that special moment to open. It must be good for you to have said “geez Louise!” LOL

[@McIntyresMalts]

Thanks Chris! Thoroughly enjoyed this one 😁

[@canal-do-guga-namura]

Try it side by side with the 12, the 15 definitely has a longer finish. Cheers!

[@McIntyresMalts]

Have recorded the Tamdhu 12 Vs 15 Versus, will be out next month 😉

[@canal-do-guga-namura]

@@McIntyresMalts I’ll wait then but I’ll have to try them side by side again now to check that finish. Cheers!

[@allanwhittle3041]

I agree a really nice whisky which does sometimes get overlooked . Just an opinion But I really don’t get why people spend so much time sniffing whisky and pontificating on about how nice it smells . What’s the point it’s ALL about the pallet , if it doesn’t taste to your liking it’s not for you , your never going keep it just cos it smells nice On the other hand , it could smell bad but if ya like the taste , you’ll buy it again . I appreciate quite often the two go hand in hand . But let’s not waste too much time sniffing It’s pointless ..Only my opinion 👍

[@McIntyresMalts]

We have 5 senses to enjoy and experience our whisky with, why only limit ourselves to taste? Without smell there is no taste my friend 😉

[@whiskyonthewestcoast]

Great video man. I can't help but be very jealous of that chef's palate you've got on ya. Picking out those herbs, like fennel, so clearly, that's some skill. It's one of the many reasons you're gonna be a big deal on whiskytube very soon. I enjoyed the Tamdhu 15 more than the GlenAllachie 15, even though I ranked the GA15 higher in a blind. GA was better that night, but overall the Tamdhu 15 is where it's at for me. Cheers 🥃

[@McIntyresMalts]

Thanks Matt, I think your channel will have great success too my brother, I enjoy your videos a lot! I will do a Versus video between the Tamdhu 15 and the GlenAllachie 15 soon, that one is going to be fun!

[@WhiskeyStraightAl]

I keep on hearing great things about this dram. I really must get a bottle. Cheers Wade.

[@McIntyresMalts]

I loved it mate, went out and grabbed my own after trying this sample. Hope you’re well mate!

[@DonnerPassWhisky]

The Tamdhu's that I have had have been wonderful, however unfortunately they are positioning themselves as you said as a luxury product like Macallan. Had a independent bottle Tamdhu 19 cask strength from a refill bourbon hogshead years ago that was amazing. With that one because it was in a quiet cask for a long time the spirit character was on full display and it's a unique and flavorful spirit. Fun to find distilleries known for sherry as older independent bottles in something relatively neutral like a refill bourbon hogshead so you can taste where the flavor profile is coming from between the spirit and the sherry. Had a indi Glengoyne 21 like that too and it was so obviously Glengoyne in flavor profile without any sherry. Cheers

[@Dan-hn1lx]

Tamdhus prices and quality are far better than Macallan. I've purchased a few bottles at very reasonable prices...

[@McIntyresMalts]

Couldn't agree more!

[@josemigas]

i told you before.....this one would knock your socks off!!!

[@McIntyresMalts]

You did! And it did! 😀🥃

[@thewhiskyenthusiast]

Nice one Wade, I can see that you love it :) Dude I didn't know you were a chef, no wonder you're so good at tasting notes! I steer clear from sherry bombs but goddamn your review made me want to get one so let's see! Cheers brother 🥃

[@McIntyresMalts]

Thank you brother, I was a chef when I was a younger man, not these days, but agree it hasn't hurt the development of my palate and the reference points I have 😉

[@thewhiskyenthusiast]

@@McIntyresMalts Well if it was anything like I read in Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential, I can only imagine about your tolerance levels 🤣🥃🥃🥃

[@McIntyresMalts]

@@thewhiskyenthusiast It definitely was like that, but I wasn't that way, many around me were and it was part of the reason I got out of the game.

[@thewhiskyenthusiast]

@@McIntyresMalts It always sounded like a very very hard game to me, good for you my man. Well dude the whiskytube is lucky to have you 🥃

[@McIntyresMalts]

@@thewhiskyenthusiast It's a pleasure to be here my friend 🥃

[@vanquish8847]

What to buy between Glenallachie 15 and Tamdhu 15 ? Does Tamdhu 15 worth the price difference ?

[@McIntyresMalts]

Not sure which market you are in, but if you are in Australia the Glenallachie 15 and the Tamdhu 15 are about neck and neck for price and specs. Hard call... I'm leaning towards the GA 15, but will do a versus video soon to determine which is best!

[@Richard-ck5zk]

Dan's have for $140 at moment, seems like an excuse to drop in?

[@McIntyresMalts]

Yep, good for $140 for sure! Dans had for the $173 mark and I wasn't keen to pull the trigger until I found elsewhere for $159, but nows Dans is pretty much the ONLY place you can find it here and $140 is the best I've seen it too

[@premier1975]

Did you add a drop of water at any point in this review?

[@McIntyresMalts]

No I didn’t. Good question! If I add water I will show that in the review. I don’t usually add water unless I’m drinking cask strength and for my palate I really enjoy that sweet spot at 46% ABV

[@whiskeyisajourney]

One of my favorites! This is actually coming up in my next sip it or skip it. Spoiler alert...SIP! Nice job Wade. Cheers.

[@McIntyresMalts]

Hey Peter! Id' be very surprised if this one was a skip. Looking forward to seeing it my friend!

[@justincase5124]

These were going for $110 on sale in January last year....bought 3.... unfortunately they were too good to save. All gone

[@McIntyresMalts]

If I only had found sooner I would have probably done the same!

[@LouisChan198]

Hi Sir, where in the US would I get these whisky samplers? Thank you very much!

[@McIntyresMalts]

Hi Louis, I'm sorry I can't help you my friend, I am in Australia 😊
